Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy (directed by James Gunn) is what any amazing superhero movie should be, funny, action packed, it has great characters, and the special effects are superb. The performances were great for all of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Chris Pratt gave a hilarious and dramatic performance as the main man, Peter Quill. Zoe Saldana was also great as Gamora. Vin Diesel was hilarious as Groot, even if he only said three words throughout the whole film. Bradley Cooper was also hilarious as Rocket Raccoon, he was my personal favorite Guardian. The film is part of the Avengers line of heroes so its going on after Captain America 2, just in a different galaxy. In the film Peter Quill (Starlord) finds a strange orb that ends up having extreme powers that could destroy the galaxy. The orb falls into the wrong hands and the Guardians of the Galaxy are in a prison. None of them know each other before prison, but they escape together. I’m not going to tell much more since this really is an extraordinary film. One of the best parts of the film was its humor, the film expertly combined action, drama, and humor into one package. Peter Quill’s obsession with the 80s was also extremely amusing. I was also surprised to see Michael Rooker, who many may know as Merle Dixon on The Walking Dead. Overall, Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the greatest movies of the year and is definitely a must-see for Marvel fans.
